Seller will employ only competent, able persons fully trained in all aspects of the Deliverables, qualified under all applicable safety regulations and practices, and licensed under all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. If Wis-Pak determines in its reasonable discretion that a Seller resource is disruptive, incompetent, or otherwise unsuitable or does not comply with Wis-Pak’s safety, security or other policies and guidelines, Seller will replace such resource with a qualified replacement. Except where otherwise agreed in writing, Seller will, at its sole cost and expense, furnish all facilities, vehicles, tools, supplies, labor, supervision, and other parts required for the safe and efficient performance of Seller obligations under this Purchase Order. While on Wis-Pak’s premises or fulfilling its obligations hereunder, Seller and persons employed or conducting business with Seller will comply with all policies and procedures promulgated by Wis-Pak from time to time.

8) INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF DELIVERABLES. Seller shall perform inspections and tests necessary to determine that the Deliverables conform to the requirements of the agreement between Buyer and Seller.
